While having a baby, a woman dies, leaves the hospital and is sucked into a dark void where she encounters circle beings who laughingly said to her:

“You’re nothing. Your life is nothing. Your baby is nothing. This is all just a joke that you’re playing on yourself.”

Read interview here (includes audio interview).  Yes, she’s written a book detailing not so happy Near Death Experiences, which has caused a tizzy with so-called experts on the subject because most reports of NDEs are pleasant. See NDERF for users’ personal accounts of Near Death Experiences.

Some accounts from the database:

“I was now in the most serene place I had ever been in my life. I was happy and I didn’t feel any pain from my bad back and actually didn’t feel a physical body at all. It was beautiful in that the sun was shining, I felt as though I was floating with the clouds and the most at peace I had ever been in my life.”

“I began to see or sense someone with me. They looked like living things that moved and breathed. They were bright blue and bright red. They seemed two dimension. Having height, width, but no depth. I felt I was dead at this point. I can’t explain how, but I knew this was a bizarre place and must be dead to be here. It wasn’t dream-like at all. Very real.”

“I remember all my surroundings were the purist white…and very soft feeing in my mind. I was in such peace I just wanted to stand there, I was in no pain at all. The feeling of comfort is almost unexplainable. Then I looked and my mother, who had pasted away about ten years earlier, was standing a distance away from me, like maybe 10 yards, but directly in front of me. She was also in white, her hair was as I remember it when she was a young woman from her pictures. She had a firm, mother firm, look on her face and she said ‘Go back Cecily Jane, it’s not time yet.'”
